Getting your exercise in during the early evening boosts your metabolism and makes it easier to control overnight blood sugar levels, a study has found. Both morning and evening exercise was seen to improve cardiorespiratory fitness — but only workouts late in the day resulted in lowered overnight glucose levels. According to lead researcher Trine Moholdt, the findings of the study are of particular significance for diabetics, who usually have glucose regulation problems. 'The group who exercised in the early evening had lower nocturnal glucose concentrations,' she added. 'This study does suggest that evening exercise may be more beneficial for people with disrupted metabolism than the same exercise done earlier in the day, said Dr Moholdt.
